Markus J. Beyrer meets the EFSI steering board

"The European Fund for Strategic Investment (EFSI) is an innovative instrument that brings about a new mentality in Europe for greater risk-taking and the use of EU funds in a logic of revolving financial instruments. It is now important that the EFSI, which is revealing a good start in terms of approved projects, ensures the quality and additionality of these projects, and substantially mobilises private investment", Markus J. Beyrer, Director General of BUSINESSEUROPE, said at a meeting with the EFSI steering board. There is also a clear need to communicate further on the EFSI in all member states, and to provide greater support to the countries having more difficulties in mobilising EFSI opportunities.
